GB1 GameBird
What Is the GameBird GB1?
The GameBird GB1 is an aerobatic and touring airplane that Thrust Flight uses for spin, upset recovery, and aerobatic training with Zero Time to Airline students. It isn't available for outside training. Our 2023 GB1 GameBird has Garmin G3X avionics and a 303 HP Lycoming engine, cruises at 200 knots, and is built for loads of plus or minus 10 G with a 400 degree per second roll rate.
The GB1 GameBird is the most anticipated aircraft to join the Thrust fleet. This incredible aircraft was designed to be the best acrobatic and touring airplane in the world.
This sleek aircraft will allow our students to master spin and upset recovery training. No other flight school in the country gives career oriented students access to such advanced aircraft.
At this time the Gamebird is not available for outside training and is only used for spin training and aerobatic training with Zero Time to Airline students.
